As we move to the end of 2011, I’ve been reading a lot of holiday letters. I know that, as a literary form, they receive a lot of criticism, but I enjoy them. They’re full of milestones, hellos, goodbyes, hopes, and dreams.

I hope 2011 was as full of wonder for your family as it was for mine. And my hope is that 2012 will be The Best Year Yet for each and every one of us.

Best wishes for a beautiful season and a Merry New Year, from my family to yours.
